Also whether it would be allowed to re-seat home season ticket holders in order to accommodate away fans… Sounds to me like it would spark more refund requests.

Am I misremembering or was there something potentially questionable about the organisation (or the person who is behind the organisation) where we borrowed this money from? Hopefully this is good news, and not just the start of an even more fractured situation with multiple parties soon to be holding us hostage rather than just the current one.

Most of these (by the club's own admission) will have been bought last year, before there was any hint of Danny having a falling out and while we were in touching distance of the play-offs. Expect an even more significant drop-off when next season's STs go on sale...

That translation ChatGPT gave you isn't anything like what's on your banner though Although it looks like the picture is AI generated anyway, so hardly the end of the world.

My parents watch it, so I've had a fair few doses of their output from being at their house over the years. You're right that they do have many interesting talking points and raise some genuinely important issues from time to time which don't necessarily get much airtime elsewhere, it was actually a surprising revelation to me that they do have some value as an organisation. Unfortunately, for all the interesting talking points they have, it's intermingled with far too much utter nonsense. I'm not an expert on many subject areas, but despite my limited exposure to watching it, the number of times I've had to step in and correct something to my parents that GB News has suggested is fact (usually disguised as an opinion) is frightening. They show such a blatant disregard for the truth that I can't take the real issues they raise without a hefty dose of doubt. You certainly can't take many of their guests' opinions at face value, because they're often either being intentionally misleading, or have been misled themselves. The worst part is, when I point out the misinformation to my parents they don't immediately believe me. Fair enough, so I then go and research it to find out for sure, but then they're not interested to see my research and still believe that almighty GB News couldn't just be lying straight to their faces. It's very scary to see, especially if their viewership is growing nationally.

You misunderstood. He was trying to get safe stands at Hillsborough, not safe standing.

This makes me a bit sad that the first game isn't at home. If the players walk off away at Leicester it would probably create quite a hostile response from the crowd, but just imagine the scenes had they walked off to cheers and claps from the three remaining stands at Hillsborough. That would have made for a brilliant spectacle for the news to latch on to, especially if it was also live on Sky.

Eh? It's nothing to do with nuance. "Do I think" they should strike is still a different question to whether I would support them if they did. I can't honestly say if they should because where that potentially leads to worries me. I'm 50/50 on that question, but if they did strike I'd be completely behind them 100%.

Asking whether they should strike is a different question to whether you'd support it if they did. I've no idea on the first answer of whether they should, but I'd wholeheartedly support them if they did.

I think people are making too big of a deal out of him "speaking out," he didn't go out of his way to have this interview, Sky literally just put a microphone in his face as he arrived for training and asked him for his thoughts. He's not going to be kicked out of the club by a raging Chansiri for what he just said FFS Good on Jamal for accepting the interview offer and giving us all a little bit of insight though. Certainly more than the club itself are doing.

The EFL cannot remove Chansiri. If the club doesn’t fulfil its fixtures there’s every likelihood that after 3 or 4 abandoned games we’ll find ourselves out of the league permanently. And that still doesn’t guarantee Chansiri leaves. There are no easy decisions at this point and pressuring him with a player strike might be the best move at this stage (who knows), but everyone has to be aware that the EFL is 100% more likely to remove us from the league than remove Chansiri if it doesn’t work.

I gather that test is carried out every year. The problem is that he doesn’t break anything on it.

It's potentially worth noting that the new football regulator will only have power over the top 5 tiers, so if we do find ourselves kicked out of the EFL then the likelihood is that Chansiri would be safe from forced removal, should he for some unknown reason still wish to continue running the club. I can't see how that would be what he's purposefully aiming for, but with this guy, who knows.

Probably a coordinated move, so expect to see other groups from the engagement panel posting the same very soon...

I don't know what I support any more. As much as I want Chansiri out, not fulfilling fixtures is a scary proposition. There's a chance it works and forces his hand, but if he still doesn't sell, which he has shown little desire to, then it will effectively result in the end of the club playing in the English Football League. I struggle to wish for that, and ironically might even protect him from being forced out by the regulator if they only have power over the top 4 or 5 tiers. It's all just very saddening.
